"I was given a shot of Haldol for gastroparesis-related symptoms at the ER. It caused immediate and severe agitation and restlessness. The worst sensation of my life. I wanted to rip my skin off. They gave me Benadryl to try to combat the reaction. It temporarily lessened the symptoms, but took over two days to get out of my system. I will NEVER take this medication again."

"Omg, I was given Haldol at the hospital to treat nausea (cannabinoid hyperemesis syndrome) and felt INSANE. Within 15 minutes, I felt so restless I had to get out of the hospital in a rush. I could not sit there, and for DAYS, felt weird, antsy, not normal, and just INSANE. My vision was blurry, I could NOT sleep for days. I kept telling my sister and cousin I felt so weird and off. It was the worst thing EVER. Luckily, my sister looked it up, and I started taking Benadryl every few hours, which helped the insane symptoms wear off. I will NEVER ever take this again for nausea. Absolutely not!!!!!"

Haloperidol "I went to the ER with persistent vomiting that I had already tried Zofran and other medicines for without any luck. After getting a dose of IV Haldol, I stopped throwing up and was able to put down some water. I still had some lingering nausea when there was too much motion, but overall, I would count it very successful. I didn't experience any negative side effects that I'm aware of."

Haloperidol "I experience nausea/vomiting related to my epilepsy after I have seizures. Sometimes it will last for over a week, and I mean vomiting lasting 4+ hours at a time. Luckily, this has no side effects for me besides sleepiness. Makes me feel better within a half hour. Zofran, Reglan, and Phenergan did me no good. It’s been a lifesaver for me."

"Was given haloperidol in the ER through IV. Within seconds, I got a hot flash like the menopause kind, and then I felt like I couldn't sit still. They wouldn't give me anything to reverse it. Stayed like that for 2 hours, then they discharged me. It is 14 hours later, and I'm still feeling agitated and restless. I hope it stops soon because Benadryl is making it worse."

"Was given this med through IV in the ER for severe stomach cramping and vomiting. It helped the cramping in my stomach and vomiting, but the moment they administered this drug, I knew something was wrong. My legs started getting sore and cramping up on their own. Parts of my body would twitch and shake, and I just couldn’t take it anymore. I thought I was having a mental break. I was terrified that I’d be stuck like this forever, with the awful panic that also came along with this med. Went right back into emerg and had them give me Benadryl and a pill to reverse the effects. Never AGAIN!!!!"

"I was given Haldol for my gastroparesis. I had slight nausea. But mainly had epigastric/chest pain from one of my 'episodes'. The nurse came in and said the doctor ordered Haldol and Benadryl, IV. Um... OK... I was worried about the Benadryl making me drowsy. But boy, was I wrong. The Haldol!!! I felt like I was going to jump out of my skin! I was restless, agitated, I thought I was going to go CRAZY! I had to keep moving my arms and legs. And all I wanted to do was rest! But every time I closed my eyes, I would see crazy images in bright neon colors. I felt like I was on an ACID TRIP! I hadn't slept in 3 or 4 days from my abdominal pain. I also had to lay still while they took me in to do a CT scan. I really thought I was going to have to jump off of the table and run out of the hospital. I will NEVER take Haldol again!!!! I will be listing it as an allergy! I think that if you are crazy, it helps you, but if you are straight... Haldol will make you crazy!!!"

"Given for dizziness, vomiting, and headache. Within minutes, had a severe reaction of spasms. Doctor didn’t care, said I was lying for more meds. Went to a new hospital where I was given a medicine to calm down the effects and put me on a temporary anxiety medicine. Haldol is terrible."

"DO NOT TAKE THIS DRUG! I almost died after being administered Haldol without my knowledge. Went to the ER with vomiting and ended up having to come back and have my shirt cut off my body, and I was almost defibrillated. I told the nurses at the ER my lips were turning as pale as my face, and they ignored it. I ended up going home, and within the next few hours, my back, neck, and arm muscles had completely locked up. My heart was beating over 200 bpm. I got 5 mg through an IV. I went mute, I couldn’t speak. I was stuck staring directly at the ceiling because of my neck being locked. My arms were stuck extended outwards to my sides. I almost didn’t make it out of the ICU. DO NOT TAKE IT! All these reviews are 100% accurate. I would rather vomit for 10 days straight than take Haldol again. It should be illegal."

"Terrible experience, did not help nausea and had a panic attack, which is one of the worst feelings I have ever felt. Couldn't sleep, had to walk around all night because I just couldn't sit still."
